Axeanda45, if you believe no one to listens to reason/soft spoken replies anymore, you're either talking to the wrong people, or you're making the wrong arguments. Nearly everyone I know welcomes and responds best to calm reason. If whodat2710 won't accept CharlesMorrison's apology, maybe it's because whodat2710, like me, has been on the receiving end of CharlesMorrison's incredibly nasty vitriol before. CharlesMorrison is without a doubt the nastiest and most vicious person I've ever encountered anywhere on the Internet, and I would not accept an apology from him either.
You did not understand the point of whodat2710's post. You should read it again, and if you still don't get the gist of it and think it says the same thing you originally thought it did, you should go back to school to take a remedial reading comprehension class (or two or three).
Without going into
any detail that neither Charles nor I care to rehash, or even recall at all quite frankly, if there's anybody on this site who would have a good reason not to accept an apology from Charles, it would be me, and
only me as far as I've ever seen. However, a public apology was made and was publicly accepted (by him and by me respectively), and saying you can't or won't accept an apology, two of them now actually, just because of harsh, but non-threatening, words, exposes you as a rather childish, spoiled brat.
This is the
exact result that the Mommies had wet dreams over when they formed their strategy of smearing law-abiding citizens with whom they disagree: gun-owners against gun-owners. CC'ers against OC'ers, riflemen against handgunners, slingers against holster-wearers, whatever.
I don't care if Charles sees my post as "having his back" or not, but that wasn't my intention. I did describe him as abrasive and tried to show understanding for how someone might not be able to get past it, but my point was about the challenge to Charles that Olinb laid down. It so clearly represented a misunderstanding of the law in various jurisdictions, and attempted to couch a perfectly legal action in many of them, as being universally illegal, and it just ain't. Ignorance is only cured by giving true and accurate information. If it's dismissed or disregarded, then it's
willful ignorance, but it doesn't make the attempt to cure it any less gratifying. I'm gratified. I hope Olinb is willfully
informed instead of ignorant, but it's there for him to do with whatever he wants.
